Activation of BCR::ABL1 tyrosine kinase is the main pathogenic mechanism underlying chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) in 90% affected patients. The prognosis for individuals with CML who receive treatment inhibitors (TKIs) such as imatinib, promising, a 5-year survival rate >90%. However, unfortunately, 20-30% patients are treated imatinib may become resistant to TKIs. objective present study was determine whether E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase Mdm2 (MDM2), regulator p53 that promotes apoptosis...
We previously found that ophthalmic formulations containing nanoparticles prepared by a bead mill method lead to an increase in bioavailability comparison with traditional (solution type). However, the transcorneal penetration pathway for has not been explained yet. In this study, we investigated mechanism of application indomethacin (IMC-NPs).IMC-NPs was method. For analysis energy-dependent endocytosis, corneal epithelial (HCE-T) cell monolayers and removed rabbit cornea were...
We designed formulations based on minoxidil (MXD) nanoparticles (N-MXD) and examined whether N-MXD can increase drug delivery into the follicles. In addition, we investigated effect of hair growth in C57BL/6 mice.N-MXD (1%) was prepared as follows: methylcellulose, p-hydroxyalkylbenzoates, mannitol, MXD were dispersed purified water milled using zirconia beads under refrigeration (5500 rpm, 30 s×15 times, intermittent milling). mice used to evaluate hair-growth effects. The expression levels...
The protein sericin is the main constituent of silk. We demonstrate effects on corneal wound healing in rat debrided epithelium. also determined cell adhesion and proliferation a human cornea epithelial line (HCE-T). Epithelium was removed from corneas rats with BD Micro-Sharp, wounded were dyed 1% fluorescein solution. wounds monitored using fundus camera TRC-50X equipped digital camera. instilled saline approximately 10% at 12 h, 65% 24 h after abrasion. showed almost complete by 36 On...
We prepared ophthalmic formulations containing 0.5% tranilast (TL) nanoparticles using 0.005% benzalkonium chloride (BAC), D-mannitol, and 2-hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin (HPβCD), investigated their usefulness in the ophthalmologic field by evaluating corneal toxicity permeability. TL were zirconia beads Bead Smash 12, which allowed preparation of high quality dispersions (particle size, 34 ± 20 nm, means S.D.). Dispersions are tolerated better human epithelium cells than a commercially...
In the clinical setting, raloxifene, a second-generation selective estrogen receptor modulator, is administered orally; however, bioavailability (BA) only 2% because of its poor solubility in aqueous fluids and extensive first-pass metabolism. Therefore, it expected that development transdermally delivered formulation may reduce necessary dose without compromising therapeutic efficacy. this study, we designed transdermal formulations containing raloxifene nanoparticles evaluated their...
Indomethacin (IMC), a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug, has been used in the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis (RA), although its clinical use limited by systemic side effects that include gastrointestinal lesions. Therefore, development IMC formulations do not cause lesions is highly anticipated. In this study, we designed new topical containing solid nanoparticles (IMCnano gel ointment), and investigated their pharmacokinetics. addition, demonstrate preventive application on...
Effective therapies have yet to be established for pancreatic ductal adenocarcinomas (PDAC) even though it is the most aggressive cancer. In present study, PDAC was analyzed using novel rat mAbs against membrane proteins in conjunction with flow cytometry and immunohistochemistry. Human epidermal growth receptor (HER)1–4, mesenchymal epithelial transition factor (MET), sphingosine‐1‐phospahate 1 (S1PR1), l ‐type amino acid transporter (LAT1), system x − c (xCT), alanine‐serine‐cysteine...
This study investigated the anti-inflammatory effects of water-dispersible hesperetin (WD-Hpt) in an endotoxin-induced uveitis (EIU) rat model. The rats were orally administered 10, 25, or 50 mg/kg WD-Hpt immediately after lipopolysaccharide (LPS) injection at concentration 200 μg. Clinical scores, cellular inflammation, aqueous humor (ApH) protein concentration, as well levels tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α, cyclooxygenase (COX)-2 and inducible NO synthase (iNOS) AqH, histopathological...
Abstract Background Chronic myeloid leukemia is associated with a more favorable prognosis following treatment BCR::ABL1 tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs). Nonetheless, about 40% of affected individuals CML display resistance or intolerance towards TKIs. Heat shock protein 90 (HSP90) functions as molecular chaperone and known for its overexpression in various types cancer, thereby HSP90 potential candidate the TKI-resistant -sensitive CML. In present study, we aimed to investigate whether...
Developmental toxicity testing is essential to identify substances that may harm embryonic development. This study aimed establish a protocol for evaluating developmental using human induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) by analyzing cellular activity and gene expression changes. Two ICH S5(R3) positive substances, valproic acid (VPA), which substance previously detected as other test methods, thalidomide (Thalido), were examined during early trichoderm differentiation without fetal bovine...
Background and Objectives: In previous studies, we reported that the assessment of cumulative thermal dose in crystalline lens, conducted through computational modeling utilizing a supercomputer biothermal transport equation, exhibited significant association with incidence nuclear cataracts. this study, have investigated types proteins expressed underlying 35.0 °C (normal-temp) 37.5 (warming-temp) by using shotgun liquid chromatography (LC) tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS)-based global...
In the present study, magnetic-calcined bamboo composite adsorbents (MCBC200, MCBC400, MCBC600, MCBC800, and MCBC1000) were prepared, their physicochemical characteristics (scanning electron microscope images, differential thermogravimetric analysis, Fourier transform-IR, specific surface area, functional groups, point of zero charge [pHpzc]) evaluated. Furthermore, adsorption capacity methylene blue (MB, cationic dye) using prepared was assessed. The value pHpzc area MCBC400 7.8 50.6 m2/g,...
We previously reported that carbopol hydrogels incorporating indomethacin nanoparticles (IMC NPs) improved the low permeability and bioavailability of skin formulations in transdermal drug delivery systems. However, combination NPs with other types has not been sufficiently explored to date.
